CALCulate[1]|2|3|4:LIMit:FCOunt?

This query returns the total number of limit failures for the specified

window/measurement.

If the appropriate STATe commands are set to ON, each time a

measurement is initiated on the specified window/measurement and the

result is outside the limits, the counter is incremented by one.

If the measured value is equal to a limit, this is a limit pass.

The counter is reset to zero by any of the following commands:

• *RST

• CALCulate[1]|2|3|4:LIMit:CLEar:IMMediate

• CALCulate[1]|2|3|4:LIMit:CLEar:AUTO ON

When CALCulate[1]|2|3|4:LIMit:CLEar:AUTO is set to ON, the counter

is set to zero each time a measurement is:

• measured using MEASure?

•read using READ?

• initiated using:

• INITiate[:IMMediate] or,

• INITiate:CONTinuous ON

When CALCulate[1]|2|3|4:LIMit:CLEar:AUTO is set to ONCE, the

counter is set to zero the first time a measurement is:

• measured using MEASure?

•read using READ?

• initiated using:

• INITiate[:IMMediate] or,

• INITiate:CONTinuous ON

The maximum number of errors is 2

–1. If more than 2

–1 errors are

detected the counter returns to zero.
